Is this a soft tray that I can push on to demold without cracking the tray? Or is it hard and will break with pressure?

It is very soft and pliable. It is a silicone mold which is so soft that I had to put it on a cookie tray and place in the freezer so it wouldn't bend and the water spill out. My ice "cubes" came out very easily.

it is a hard Trey but it is flexible enough to get out the molds with no problem

It will not break but it is a hard plastic. You will not be able to push anything out but you can crack things out like ice or chocolate . I tried to make jello shots with this and they stayed stuck.

It is hard, is not soft as the regular silicon mold that you can push it is hard pink plastic. Not sure if it may have a low % of silicone but it seems to me as plastic, hard to unmold as well.

No - It can not withstand the pressure and will split. At least ours did. Hope this helps!!

If it wasn't put on completely straight, it can be super hard to get off. If you can look underneath and watch how the mechanism works, you may be able to apply pressure one way or another to get it to slide out. I recommend practicing putting it on and off quite a bit without a baby in it until you can consistently do it quickly. You don't want to get flustered with a fussing baby and then not be able to get the tray off! Once I got used to the motion, I never had a problem with it again. Still using it at 18 months.

It's a thick plastic tray. We had a crate that had a metal tray and even with the dog bed inside, it rattled every time the dug moved. Very noisy and we returned it and got this one.

I leave it in place and don't "tear down" every morning. It doesn't fold either. An elastic band stretches from the base thought the tubing up to the loop that holds the CPAP tubing. The pieces pull out from one another allowing you to fold side by side for easier storage or travel. Sturdy? Not really. It's thin tubing maybe aluminum but my first one lasted a couple years before breaking at the base. For the price, it's worth the comfort it provides stopping the CPAP tubing from wrapping around my throat when I rollover at night.

you have to push in on each side separately to remove it but it can be done with one hand offsetting the first side and do the other side. Putting it on is simpler and matching up the holes with the protrusions and pressing down on the tray will snap it into place.

I use it on a tray, as it's soft, then you have the support, it's a great product

Yes! I just tried mine out last night, and I was surprised at how tough it is to push. I thought it did a pretty good job, but the jury is still out on whether or not I will keep it.

Yes. You push the tray and it pops out. Easy to remove, clean and re-install.

It's fairly rigid. There is a little flexibility to it but not much. I was able to place mine quickly and with only one or two small bubbles that were too stubborn to leave.

Gently pry back one of the edges. I some times treat it like an ice cube tray. But just keep in mind it is plastic! A lot of force might break it.

This is for all practical purposes just like the steel version except that the tray is made of aluminum. For example, the cargo bag that fits the steel one will fit this one as well. It is much lighter weight than the steel one, but the aluminum rim is bendable, not easily bent but still. The steel bed is pretty indestructible. I have both versions, but I like this one much better -- easier to handle..

I have one new. I have used it a couple times. Did not break. Be sure that all steps hitch together. Sometimes they will slide but not always click in place

The trays are flexible and somewhat durable. Not knowing what you want to use them for, and not sure how much they need to bend it is difficult to answer. I have used some of my trays for a couple of years. I plant veggie seed in small pots and place them in the trays. Also, I have placed quart size pots with veggies in them, picked the trays up to move then elwhere in my green house without them cracking. I do make sure I hold the trays carefully and securely making sure the weight is balanced. Hope this helps

PenBeads, if your definition of "hard" plastic is absolute rigidity; it is not. If your definition of "soft" plastic is flimsy and very pliable; it is not. The main structure (outside walls and inner divider cells) is of plastic approximately 1/16th of an inch thick - it does move should you apply pressure. A loose comparable is the plastic of good Tupperware; but not flimsier like ZipLock storage containers. The two lids are somewhat thinner but adequate. However, an observation on the lid is that the closure construction is a flap along the side of the lid that snaps onto the main structure. This might, just might, fatigue over time and split along the seam. Too bad there is no way to contact you directly; mine is too big for my needs - I'd just send mine to you.

look on the inside and you can feel the buttons to push in and slide it aprt do not twist it will weaken it and may cause it to break
